"Try it" at the same level first. Historically the 10x3 week was hard, 10x4 was murder, 10x5 wasn't too bad. I don't know if it's the knowledge that "this is it" or if your body gets a little better at working at that load or what, but the 3rd week is normally a little easier than the 2nd.

Absolute worse comes to worse and you NEED to lower the weight, go for it, no harm done. If you try it, you might fail. If you don't try it you'll fail every time.
